Translucent, deep honey coloured radiating aggregates of olmiite up to 1cm set amongst glittering jewel-like calcite crystals, on brown botryoidal goethite that covers the matrix. Excellent contrast and aesthetics, this is one of only a small number of specimens recovered from a new find in Sept 2016. No damage, fantastic specimen.
